Live Streaming Gear at NAB 2025: The Future is Faster, Stronger, and More Efficient
The NAB 2025 show floors were buzzing with innovative new live streaming gear and solutions designed to help content creators, broadcasters, and live production teams do more, faster, and with greater efficiency. As described in this article, it’s clear that the industry is heading toward more integrated and powerful solutions.
From all-in-one systems to cloud-based production, the trend was clear: Everything is getting faster, more capable, and smaller. This year, companies like YoloLiv, Magewell, and BirdDog are leading the charge with compact, powerful devices that make it easier than ever to manage professional-grade live production on the go.
YoloLiv’s YoloBox Extreme raised the bar with eight physical HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs packed into an 11″ Android tablet. Capable of 4K UHD production, including recording, replay, and delivery, this AIO system is perfect for mobile live streaming and multicasting. Magewell followed up with their Director One, a portable solution with cellular connectivity, larger screens, and full-size HDMI output—tailored to meet the demands of field production. BirdDog introduced the MAKI Studio Control Surface, which adds a hardware control surface to their iOS-based MAKI Studio app, providing a more production-friendly experience.
Cloud connectivity also dominated at NAB 2025. NDI’s NDI-6 Hardware Bridge and BirdDog’s BirdDog Connect extended the capabilities of remote live production, offering encrypted, ultra-low latency video streams over multiple networks. PTZ Optics took things even further with HIVE, a cloud studio control room that makes managing remote cameras and operators a seamless experience.
In a world where fast, reliable internet is becoming increasingly accessible, cloud-connected live production is more feasible than ever. Not only can production teams be remote, but even the gear can be remotely managed. This marks a shift in the industry that will enable distributed production teams and the ability to broadcast from nearly anywhere.
